    There's an old Chinese proverb, Confucius I believe. "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.".

    Shouldn't that be...dig an extra grave? What if you are after more than one person?

    There are lots of quotes to fit any situation:p

    "Don't get mad, get even."

    "Do unto others, as they have done unto you"

    Out of interest, I wonder if the landlord had permission from his mortgage lender to let the property to the person who is now subletting to others? Is this landlady and the original landlord, declaring their earnings to the tax office?

    Or is it a council house that is being sublet? It looks like the government are bringing in "tenancy fraud" for these people and making it a criminal act.

    Oh what a tangled web some weave, when first they practice to deceive.
    RENTING? Have you checked to see that your landlord has permission from their mortgage lender to rent the property? If not, you could be thrown out with very little notice.
    Read the sticky on the House Buying, Renting & Selling board.
